This game needs a play time limit.

In addition to an AFK timeout logout that they sorely need to implement, SQEX really need to provide current launch players with some relief by giving players a timer limit for staying logged in.

Say 3 hours of game time before a compulsory logout (with a 15-20 minute warning before the player will be logged automatically) - at which time you can go directly back into the waiting queue - which ideally won't be so bad because AFKers are getting logged out and people are getting logged out.

I mean, yeah that sounds kinda bad... until you realize we're dealing with the current alternative which is wait 3 hours, pressing 0 on numpad or A/X on gamepad to *possibly* get into the game.

Unfortunately, due to tragedy of the commons, few people are going to log out once they're in - the wait times and queues only encourage and incentivize this behaviour, which in turn exacerbates the wait times and queues.

No.

10 chars.

Ahahahahahahahahaha. No ty.

[CyrilLucifer]

Yeah, no. I don't think so. Especially with later dungeons being two hours long.

Wanted to add, but couldn't because of the character count limit; This should only be a temporary measure of course - until the player base has had their fill and population numbers drop back down/servers are added to cope with them.

Without any sort of change... pretty soon, we're going to get a situation where you can't log in at any time of day - people will cotton on to the fact that they need to stay logged in... even for players that aren't enjoying it that much, or have no plan to play for an entire day.

[Enforcer]

No, no, no, and NO.

So you all really prefer to try to login for hours on end, rather than have your games once in, disrupted once every 3 or so hours?

The assumption is that this measure will essentially solve login queue problems, meaning you just log straight back in once you've been booted... although you might have to wait in queue for a minute (as opposed to hours).

Some of us aren't having login issues so disrupting our gameplay IS a big deal because we're being penalized for something that isn't our fault.

Are 'some of us' not having login issues, because 'some of us' are leaving their characters logged in, while the rest of us stare at login screens?
